    The paper was a joke, they didn't put in any questions that required extensive thought, should have made it at least as hard as 3H

    There are so many mixed opinions... Some people say 3H was hard, and some people say 4H was hard? I struggled with 3H, but I was alright with 4H but I thought that might've just been because I was stressed?
    I don't know? Was 3 or 4 harder?

    why dont you shut up, if your so amazing at maths then why post unnecessary comments making other people feel bad about themselves. Both exams were extremely difficult. If you found it such a 'joke' maybe you should of taken your maths gcse early. Idiot

    it has never really gone above 84% and if the 3H was much harder than most past papers i doubt it will be anywhere as high as that. Remember that many people will be aiming simply to pass and this is an International GCSE.... with people from everywhere. so they cant make it too high ! 82% is standard

    I got the wrong answer for the last question, but began with the right equation etc so would i get a couple of method marks at all?

    Defo think 3h was harder imo!

    They don't work out the boundaries until they've got the marks for everyone's papers because say if they pre-set it at 90% for an A* and then no one got an A*? Grades are always relative. It depends on what everyone else got.
